There are two instances in Cat-Tales when Dr. Bartholomew intrudes on Joker and Harley engaged in “what he believes the young people call ‘a lip lock.’ The first, like most of what occurs in the early tales is a light, quick laugh and nothing more. The callback in War of the Poses is the climax of Harley’s revenge for Bartholomew’s interference in her relationship with Puddin’. Don’t cross the Quinn.
